Default I need a source for machine screws.

I dont build kits but I thought what better place to ask. I need some 3 and 4mm machine screw like what comes in hardware kits about 3/4" long with allen heads on them. Where is a good place to buy these I would like to stock up because I always need them? My hardware store doesnt have the allen heads. Thanks for any help.

Just found horizon has a great selection of them. It always seems I need 3mm bolts for everything and never have them. Oh well if I always had what I needed I couldn't run like a kid to an ice cream truck whenever the mail runs lol.

The BEST. www.rtlfasteners.com. They have everything!! Bolts, nuts,screw, washers. I just bought their " builders assortment." (over 2000 bolts screws, washers) with the organizers for around $85.00. Go price that stuff at your local hardware. Good Luck

Something we did at my old club was to get a number of guys that were in need of hardware and place one big order and we split the shipping cost. A lot of guys only buy the servo screws so it was a good way to buy.

I third McMaster Carr. Much more than screws & bolts. Everything from a to z. I use them all the time, one stop shopping.
